Great family friendly spot!

We were looking for a hotel that was both family-friendly and conveniently located near amenities, and this place did not disappoint! The staff was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, making our stay even more enjoyable. When we needed to switch rooms, the process was seamless and hassle-free. The highlight of our trip was definitely the pool—it was a fantastic experience for the whole family! We’re already looking forward to many more stays in the future.

Love this little Inn

I have stayed here several times since my daughter goes to UCSB. I love staying here! The garden setting outside your room, makes this place ideal. Every room comes with a patio or balcony and it nice to sit there and enjoy the scenery. There is also a resturant and bar that you can enjoy the garden setting as well. The rooms are a bit older and run down, but looks like they are slowly working on improvements. The rooms are very clean and the beds are comfortable. I continue to enjoy staying there. Sort of central to everything in Santa Barbara.
